Default New brake lights on an old SV?

Hello everyone, first post here

Just wondering, is there any way to put the newer LED brake lights on an old curvey SV (K1)?

Cheers, Joe

Do you actually want the new style SV lights on your curvy, or do you just want to replace your existing lights with LED ones?

You can easily get led bulbs to put on your Curvy
But if you want the better looking Pointy rear lights I can't see how it would look good without putting the whole rear plastics from a pointy on. I don't know if that needs the pointy rear sub frame & if so how easily that would fit.

Was seeing if it was possible to actually replace the old ones with a new unit; a long shot I know but just wondering So it would mean replacing how much of the rear?

Cheers

Plastics definately, possibly undertray and subframe too.

I bought a single seat unit when I was going to convert it to a solo seat bike. The plan was to turn the pointy tail lights up side down and have the two strips protruding through the top of the rear plastics. Then Jo decided she would pillion so I sold the parts.
